Holy crap. Used in some cultures on unruly children so that their ancestors could directly admonish them!

Literally have watched the typically accepted propaganda get removed quickly on that sub. Also had several conversations with mods when I was on there. Levelheaded and quite serious about their work. Literally the only sub that seemed to maintain ethics and consistency.
That being said, I’ve not been on there in a couple of years.
It’s the FUTURE all up in here!
Only if we reclassify cheesecake as well.
Look up Douglas Adams’ puddle analogy?
“If you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!"
This seems to be a ‘no true Scotsman’ argument.
I’ve broken an arm, neck, and a leg. I’ve had gall stones (actually worse that the others). I had kidney stones and was being constantly asked my pain level and was just on my phone and calmly said ‘seven’ and they didn’t believe me, until they got the CT results of the three 7-9mm stones lodged my ureters. The nurse was confused and I had to explain to the doc on call they needed to remember that things are all relative. Once they saw my BP edging toward stroke level, they brought out the meds.
It is complicated to be honest in medicine, isn’t it.

6·1 year agoThey have all been very plot light. Tron has always been great, interesting visuals, and stunts.
That, and very entertaining music. I felt that the second’s soundtrack overshadowed the actual movie by far.

6·1 year agoIn this case, they are explicitly talking about serving ads on the device. Apple has a much less problematic track record for that particular issue.
There are quite a few special requirements that need to be met for narcotics to be dispensed. Can they be ignored? Yup! Also, there should be some numbers run first and in many states an online check is required as well.

And, yes. I have noticed that. I also noticed that once their funding from Russian sources was noted they backed off quite a bit as well.

3·1 year agoI know. They made that clear. And I feel it is reasonable.
Hunting is a practice in self-sufficiency and prey animal control that saves lives. Respect but not fetishizing guns is the POV that I appreciate.
Sorry if my statement was taken the opposite of my intention.

No sarcasm. I feel the national POV of the USA is just sick.
You are wrong and have always been wrong. It is based on worked (scheduled hours) in a week. Above a threshold, and it is considered full-time.
